Join us for an evening with Gerald Heward, from water transport company Wood, Hall and Heward.

Wood, Hall and Heward was established in 1997 to specialize in water transport in and around the canals and rivers of London and the south east. Its remit places it in tune with modern thinking to reduce the usage of roads for the transport of heavy materials with the consequent, reduction in the pollution that road transport creates. Since inception, the Company has assembled an impressive inventory of over 40 craft for use on the canals and rivers. This collection includes tugs, motor barges,
dumb barges, hopper barges, crane and plant barges, pontoons, small workboats and dinghies.

Gerald is one of the three founding directors of Wood, Hall and Heward and now acts as a consultant to the Company. As such, he is the ideal speaker to describe the assets with which the Company is equipped and the tasks that the Company undertakes.

Waterway underfunding

Hundreds of miles of waterways – along with their unique heritage and habitats – are currently starved of funding and rely on constant lobbying by us to safeguard their future.

Sustainable Boating

We want boating on canals and rivers to be more sustainable and – even though the current overall contribution to UK carbon emissions is very small – we want to help reduce emissions on the waterways.

Waterways Heritage at Risk

Britain’s canals and rivers are a unique, living heritage. But that heritage is at risk – from urban development, lack of protection, loss of skills and knowledge and climate change.

You can help Save Waterways Heritage.

Waterway restoration

Restoring the UK’s blue infrastructure – our inherited network of navigable canals and rivers – is good for people and places.
